Also, it may mean the Iverson/JR/Melo Nuggets may be in.
Yea well in order for Camby to be Camby, the gameplay in terms of individual physicality on the court has to be well diversified and be seen otherwise Camby will only be more or less like 2k17 Gobert, if you know what i mean..

For me it's a love and hate thing with these teams lol. Obviously I loved the era, but I hated the play then. I hated that slow, bang en up, basketball style they had. These were the teams that got alot of the rules changed.

Right there with you. But I like variety with my basketball. It's what makes the classic teams so valuable. Outside of the Grizzlies you don't see gritty basketball anymore. If I want to play a traditional inside/outside offense, I can't really use any 2017 teams. It's all about drive and kick now.

At least the heat and Knicks had some firepower. They just played a really slow pace and played really physical defense.
